S. Guckenheinaer & Son

The wholesale grocery business is a large
factor in the commercial growth of Savan-
nah, and prominent among the houses in
this line we desire to call the attention of
our readers to that of Messrs. S. Quicken
heiIner d Son, situated at 149, Isl and 153
Bay street. This house is too well and ia
vorabiy known to require any elaborate
mention at our hands. Their business has
grown to enormous proportions, built up bv
their perseverance and indomitable energy
Their warehouses, Nos 1875 and 1917 Bay
street, they use solely for the storing OF
flour, which they bring here in enormous
quantities, their shipments being the largest
received at one time by any house in this
section. When their senior, Mr. S. Guckan
homer, visits the milling districts he pur-
chases from 5000 to 5000 barrels of -four AFT
time, and frequently charters Especial
train" from the West, the last of which con-
sisted OF twenty-four cars, of 125 barrels
each, making total of 5000 barrels for the
train, direct to Savannah.
Their liquors, tobacco and cigars and sta
pie groceries are TO be found at Nos t49
and l51 Bay street, and their stock is sim
ply immense. Regarding their tobacco and
cigar department, we desire to call the at
tention of the reader to their Town Talk
and Red Star tobaccos, and their Rolled
Gold and Five Favorites cigars. The popu-
lar favor with which these brands have been
received must indeed be very flatterines 20
them. In addition to this, they carry repu-
larly in stock every desirable style and
grade of both tobaccos and cigars Their
stock is of large proportions, and their
business in this line has grown to that ex-
tent so as to become distinct feature in it,
self
At l53 Bay street they store their fancy
groceries and their canned goods. Their
stock i'll this department we unhesitatingly
say is unsurpassed anywhere both in their
excellent quality and the amount they carry.
They have foreseen the growing demand for
superior quality of goods and the apprecia-
ton which the public show for SUCH Canned
goods is a prominent feature in their bust
ness and their extensive line embraces not
only the ordinary articles classed under this
head but also every delicacy which modern
progress and competition has added to tempt
the eye and please the TASTE Quicken
heimer's best canned goods are displayed
under the firms own private labels and the
goods are packed specially for the firm with
a guarantee which places them as s'perfec-
ton" in the department. They handle
numerous other specialties, controlling many
popular goods SO well and favorably known
to the trade, as to meet and excel in compe-
tition, and establish for the house its envia-
BILE reputation in the commercial world
But it is useless to dilate further upon the
resources Of this well known establishment.
To describe in detail everything in which
they deal would require volume, and more
space than we can possibly give. Suffice it
to say that there is nothing in the various
departments Of their trade which they can
not furnish on the shortest notice with salts
faction guaranteed Every department
seems to be sufficiently large to constitute
business of its own The same clock-work
precision and regularity are visible every
where, and the same energy and force is
manifested in every detail, presenting
model business house
